.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the command line parameters for
Gerbera. For a detailed documentation please see the README file which
is distributed with Gerbera or visit https://gerbera.io.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-i\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-ip\fR\*(T> 
The server will bind to the given IP address, currently we can not bind to
multiple interfaces so binding to 0.0.0.0 will not be possible.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-e\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-interface\fR\*(T> 
The server will bind to the given network interface, currently we can only bind
to one interface at a time.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-p\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-port\fR\*(T> 
Specify the server port that will be used for the web user interface, for
serving media and for UPnP requests, minimum allowed value is 49152. If this
option is omitted a default port will be chosen, however, in this case it is
possible that the port will change upon server restart.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-c\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-config\fR\*(T> 
By default Gerbera will search for a file named "config.xml" in the ~/.config/gerbera directory. This option allows you to specify a config file by the
name and location of your choice. The file name must be absolute.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-m\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-home\fR\*(T> 
Specify an alternative home directory. By default Gerbera will try to
retrieve the users home directory from the environment, then it will look for a
\&.gerbera directory in users home. If .gerbera was found we will try to find
the default configuration file (config.xml), if not found we will create both,
the .Gerbera directory and the default config file.

This option is useful in two cases: when the home directory can not be
retrieved from the environment (in this case you could also use -c to point
Gerbera to your configuration file or when you want to create a new
configuration in a non standard location (for example, when setting up daemon
mode). In the latter case you can combine this parameter with the parameter
described in Section 5.6, "Config Directory"
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-f\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-cfgdir\fR\*(T> 
The default configuration directory is combined out of the users home and the
default that equals to .gerbera, this option allows you to override the
default directory naming. This is useful when you want to setup the server in a
nonstandard location, but want that the default configuration to be written by
the server.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-a\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-add\fR\*(T> 
Add the specified directory or file name to the database without UI
interaction. The path must be absolute, if path is a directory then it will be
added recursively. If path is a file, then only the given file will be
imported.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-l\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-logfile\fR\*(T> 
Do not output log messages to stdout, but redirect everything to a specified
file.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-D\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-debug\fR\*(T> 
Enable debug log output.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-\-compile\-info\fR\*(T> 
Print the configuration summary (used libraried and enabled features) and exit.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-\-version\fR\*(T> 
Print version information and exit.
.TP 
\*(T<\fB\-h\fR\*(T>, \*(T<\fB\-\-help\fR\*(T> 
Print a summary about the available command line options.
